Your tour will start at noon, and your guide and coach driver will pick you up from your downtown Shanghai hotel. You will first visit the Zhujiajiao Water Village - an ancient water town which is well-known throughout the country, with a history of more than 1700 years. Covering an area of 18 square miles, the little fan-shaped town glimmers like a bright pearl in the landscape of lakes and mountains. Unique old bridges across bubbling streams, small rivers shaded by willow trees and houses with courtyards attached, all transport people who have been living amid the hustle and bustle of the modern big city to a brand-new world full of antiquity, leisure and tranquility.
